Ice Cream Regulations.
London County Council (General Powers) Act, 1902.
All premises where ice-cream is made have been inspected and attention
given to the utensils used. They have been kept in a most clean
and satisfactory condition.
London County Council (General Powers) Act, 1904.
Under this Act 19 rooms have been freed from vermin. No legal

of the Act requiring this work to be done is now well understood.
Housing and Town Planning Act.
Under this Act the Council closed three houses in Bath Street, as

overhauled in view of re-opening, which will take place early in the
new year.
